Section IV: Procedure

IV.1) Description

IV.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated procedure without publication of a contract notice

Justification for selected award procedure:

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights

Explanation:

The Secretary of State for Defence (The Authority) intends to enter into a contract with Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Ltd for the procurement of Support of Approved Tyres utilised on various MoD aircraft platforms, originally manufactured by Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Ltd.

It is considered that this contract can be procured using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Article 28(1)(e) of Directive 2009/81/ EC (Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011). This is due to technical reasons which would make it extremely difficult, time consuming and costly for any other economic operator to undertake aspects of the work required within this proposed contract. The need to obtain the necessary licenses, tools, test equipment and develop technical expertise to undertake PDS activities, manufacture items and undertake repairs, for platforms nearing their Out of Service Date (OSD) would not be viable without engaging with Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Ltd for a significant proportion of the work. This would impact the users' ability to safely operate the affected aircraft, which would result in aircraft being grounded and capability being lost.

Another economic operator would not have the knowledge and in-use reliability data to be able to undertake fault investigations which could result in the grounding of the aircraft and the Authority would not be able to fulfil its safety requirements to ensure the safe functioning of the affected air platforms. Following the release of an RFI any other operator who claims to be able to perform the work would still have to source equipment from Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Ltd. In addition as they are not the component design organisation they would also be unable to carry out associated investigations on this equipment. Any new equipment to replace that produced by Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Ltd would have to be approved by a variety of TAAs which cannot be guaranteed to occur within the proposed period of contracting if at all. As a result, Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Ltd is the only company able to fulfil the full requirement that is being pursued by the Authority.
